I cried all day yesterday
I read of your passing
Twenty-five years ago
We parted with a kiss

I believe we did the right thing
My wife still by my side
Our love grew larger than life
Memories, untold memories

My children had babies
They are such a blast
I’m their hero, they say
Forgetting times past

I knew you remarried
I prayed for your happiness
Struggles in your life
I shall never know

Someday when I pass on
May we meet for a talk?
I hope you forgave me
My wife excused us both

I asked God to forgive me
For often I fantasized
Dreamt we had our own family
With you by my side

I needed to tell you
These things in my mind
Clear the air for good
To just say goodbye

Often I will remember you
Smile, sometimes cry
I’ll feel you in a breeze
I’ll see you in a sunset

I’ll hold tight to your memory
Bye, my love, goodbye
